[C++-sig] EXTERNAL: Re: pygccxml KeyError

I did run into a couple subtle problems with this approach.  Depending on where I put the header file, Py++ doesn't generate pypp.hpp/pypp.cpp files that actually register the data structures.  Everything shows up in the exposed_decl.pypp.txt file, but there are no Py++ generated source files to actually get compiled into the extension.   Just where the file can be placed and where it can't is quite puzzling.  Initially, I wanted to build the fake header as a string using file_configuration_t and CONTENT_TYPE.TEXT as my files argument to module builder, but that didn't work.  I then created a real fake header in the filesystem, and it initially didn't work either.  After much trial and error, I found that it would work if placed in certain directories.


This is all that is in the header that I'm generating:
#include "LoggerInterface.h"
#include "LogWriter.h"
#include "SchedulerInterface.h"
#include "SimLoggerInterface.h"
#include "ThreadInterface.h"
#include "TimeInterface.h"

Here is a quick summary of some directories I've tried (source code for bindings is in: C:\Users\davidsj2\workspace\SimExternalInterfaces\src\C++\SimInterfaces\SimExecInterfaces)

C:\ - Outlier.  Spit out additional warnings and the build failed
C:\temp - FAIL
C:\Users - PASS
<user> - PASS
<user>\hello - FAIL
<user>\workspace - PASS
<user>\workspace\test - FAIL
<user>\workspace\SimExternalInterfaces - PASS
<user>\workspace\SimExternalInterfaces\build - FAIL
And many more

It seems like in order to work, the parent hierarchy of the fake header has to be an ancestor of the source directory.  As you'll note above, any time I branched away from the path leading to the source files, I ran into a problem.  Adding the parent directory for the fake header to the include_paths, does not resolve the problem.  I believe the string based approach also fails because py++ ends up creating a temporary file in a directory that is not an ancestor of the source.

Below, I'm including the build output for a build where the fake header is in a functioning directory, a non-functioning directory, and where it's included as in in-memory string using file_configuration_t.

Can you create a single header file, which includes all others?
